National anthem

I wish somebody would learn the national anthem the right way. That young person (Tuesday) night at the All-Star Game messed it up. Why can't they sing the National Anthem the way it should be sung with pride and inspiration? Nothing with the wavering voice... I am a disgruntled American and I believe the National Anthem right, no if, ands or buts about it.

Imaginary God response

I would hate to be that guy when he's standing up in heaven being judged by God. I'd love to see his face when he finds out there is a God. The Bible was written by man, but it was written through God telling man what to say and write down. That guy's just ignorant and hopefully sees the light before he dies, 'cause he'll be having fun burning in hell for eternity.

To all of you so-called atheist, and I say so-called because its just a short period of time before you will have to stand before the very one you deny, and then you will believe: I still wish you could explain why you try so hard to deny God's existence when you don't believe that he exists, and I'll bet you don't throw away your dollar bills and so forth that has his name on it. It takes more faith for you not to believe than it does for me to believe because I see and feel his presence daily. Despite yourself, God loves you.

Longmont paper?

I can't understand why, if there was an attempted abduction in Longmont yesterday, why that wasn't on the very front page above the folds, so that the people opening the paper this morning would be aware that there is some man, allegedly, running around Longmont attempting to kidnap a child. What I did see was Pantry Market closing and a story about Lafayette. Is this a Longmont paper?

Super IGA

Its great that both Erie and Lafayette have both opted out of the super IGA. The colossal Boulder County open space machine is starting to show some cracks.

Martin/Zimmerman

If you're inflamed about the Martin/Zimmerman case results, you might want to look up Roderick Scott. He was a black man that shot an unarmed white teenager in New York and he was just freed also. He was tortured for two years by the court before they finally decided that, yes, he acted in self-defense.

Religious views

If you're not for God you're allowed to say anything you want and if anyone dares to try to defend God you say, "quit forcing your religion down our throats". It's a pretty way of saying, "We will say what we want. Just sit down and shut the bleep up".

Los Arcos

What a stroke of luck that the Los Arcos do not fit the pillars in the Alleyscape project, I think they are very dated looking and unattractive. Los Arcos do not fit into the new alley physically or aesthetically anyway.

Mosquito spraying

So the city moved the mosquito spraying from Thursday night to Friday night. I guess they figure all the mosquitoes will all be out partying on Friday versus Thursday.

You can keep your animals in your house for a day or two and then water your lawn as usual and then your animals can go out and they are not going to be harmed. Ask anyone who suffers from the consequences of West Nile. You could ask a family member of the ones who died from it. Once sprayed, you can go for your walks and people can ride their bikes without such a high risk of being exposed to West Nile, because it can cripple you, do bad things to you and kill you.

I am certainly glad that the city is spraying and I can sit on my patio in the evening or, on the other hand, send the children out without slathering them in chemicals. Thank you city.

Apparently we are going to keep a couple of people, today, safe from West Nile disease by killing honeybees also, so that tomorrow more of us starve. In what world does this make any sense and by the way when did I vote for this? I sure don't remember.

Our governor drank some fracking fluid to prove how safe it is. Perhaps our city council members could drink some Aqualure-laced water to show us that mosquito spraying is safe. Putting chemicals that kill into the environment is never a good idea.

Does the city council know that the ArtWalk is happening tomorrow night, Friday, when a supposed mosquito spraying is occurring at 9 p.m.? People and children will be outside during this time. This is outrageous that we were not allowed to vote on it. I have a newborn baby and no air conditioning and I am supposed to close all my windows for the city to hose down my property and garden and vegetables with a mosquito spray?
